A 130-hectare plot of land in North Roe, a village on the most northern tip of the Mainland of the Shetland Isles, Scotland, has just gone on sale for an asking price of £595,000 – and it doesn’t get much more remote than that.

The sale consists of four crofts (or small farms), a large four-bedroom family home, and some seriously stunning scenery.

The land is split into Fethaland, the largest of the crofts, and three tenanted crofts – Hooplees, where the family home is situated, Largarth, and Houllsquoy.

The current owner, David Murray, hopes to sell all units as one. However, the online listing on solicitor Neil Risk’s website indicates he may consider selling the units separately.

The idyllic 130-hectare plot is the perfect spot for countryside and coastal exploring. The largest croft, Fethaland, which sits on 98 acres, is pictured below.

Fethaland is only accessible via a 4X4 track. Though currently uninhabited, it is apparently popular among tourists and is steeped in history dating back to the Vikings.

Murray is quoted in the Daily Mail describing leaving Fethaland as “heartbreaking.”

He added that it’s “unimaginable – there’s no place like it. The wildlife is just phenomenal. You quite often see killer whales, puffins, even ospreys…. I can’t do it justice.”

Below, you can also see the Largarth croft.
